    Lahkonočnice (The Bedtime Storytellers)

    Agency: Grey Ljubljana

    Creative director: Petra Krulc

    Advertiser: A1 Slovenija

To reconnect them with the outside world and strengthen their cognitive abilities Grey Ljubljana and A1 Slovenija turned them into Bedtime Storytellers. By reading and recording fairy tales, written exclusively by renowned Slovenian fairy tale writers, the retirement home storytellers create a vast library of audio fairy tales that rock toddlers all over Slovenia to sleep every day.

    Laško Bet

    Agency: Luna TBWA

    Creative director: Janez Rakušček

    Advertiser: Pivovarna Laško Union d.o.o.

    Best stories often start with a bet. This one started between famous father-son couple Boris and Sebastian Cavazza for the last bottle of beer that goes to the one, who proves himself best by using rhymes in everyday situations. The Laško Duel took place on dvoboj.si with a series of online videos – all for people to vote on their favorite one and to share their own rhymes. Communication also moved on the streets with spectator’s rhymes on billboards across Slovenia and into stores with special sensor-equipped shelves that recorded votes for one or another. The Duel became main conversation topic online and offline.

    Third place

    Cancer Bra

    Agency: Grey Ljubljana

    Creative director: Petra Krulc

    Advertiser: Palmers

    The only time women really pay attention to their breasts is when they're shopping for lingerie. But if they did it every day, it could save their life. That is why – in cooperation with Palmers, one of the biggest European lingerie brands – agency Grey Ljubljana created The Cancer Bra. The first bra with breast cancer, to keep women beautiful not only on the outside, but also on the inside. A silicone lump the size of a breast tumour created discomfort while trying the bra on – recreating the horror of the moment you discover breast cancer and promoting the message: early detection through breast self-examination saves lives.
